a user said he had 17's, put them on with a certain size tire mounted, they rubbed. he changed the tires with the exact same size, just a different brand and they were fine

whats the deal with that? do the actual sizes differ by brand?

I noticed that too. I think it has to do with what type of tire it is. When i say "type" i mean high perf./all-season/touring etc... Some tires are flatter across the contact path while others are a little rounded. I think this might contribute to some discrepancies.

That is part of it. However if you do go with the same performance category, company's will give you the tire width (from sidewall to sidewall) but neglect to tell you the actual tread width which may be the same width as the tire width and not taper in.
